This function allows you to record color images in very low light situations. (Minimum 
required illumination: approx. 1 lx)
≥Recorded scene is seen as if frames were missed.

This brightens parts that are in shadow and difficult to see and suppresses white saturation 
in bright parts at the same time. Both bright and dark parts can be recorded clearly.
